FAQs for Empshott
Do you work at weekends in Empshott?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Empshott keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Empshott?
The local authority for Empshott is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Grease filter exchange in Empshott
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled right away. We are often asked to deal with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and a canopy that drips grease, on wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Empshott, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Empshott
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Empshott, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What the work involves, part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though normally at a gentler pace.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Empshott?
Wherever you are, Empshott included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 3.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
